taken to negative the existence Of such
power in the municipality.
Respondents further answering say that
by Section o OF said original act the annual
al yalorem and privilege taxes for the use
OF tue municipality were levied and appor-
toned TO the several departments; that by
Section 10 the wharfage tax on steamboats,
ana other water craft was fixed, and then
by Section IL twas enacted that the 'di-
version OF any portion Of any OF said taxes,
or wharfage dues, or other funds from the
purpose for which they were levied, by
any OF the commissioners or by the trus-
tee, shall be felony etc. Respondents
~" advised and submit, that the word
levied is wholly out OF place in respect
OF fines and forfeiturcs, market rents and
inspection fees, us sources OF municipal
revenue, and that diversion cannot be
predicated OF funds that by tho express
terms OF said Section 0 may be appropriated
to The payment Of other expenses than
those specifically enumerated
On these grounds the Respondents will
light the issue out, The hearing OF the
blll oil injunction win probably come up
today.

ticket, Edward Benton took his place
among his fellow members. 1t was plainly
noticed that upon the most prominent
committees his name was not omitted, ana
also that in the little whispering knots
which gathered for consultation his tail
form was ever conspicuous.
A well known machine politician, with

upon the members Of the convention the
necessity of selecting the most available
candidates.
It seemed as though availability had be-
come the watchword and their unanimous
idea. Not availability as to honesty, for

The convention had concluded its la

their intimates said it was "a strong tick
